Report: Detroit Ironman Matt Stafford Played with a Broken Back in 2018

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford took a beating during some games in 2018.

Now, we learn that during the Lions Dec. 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Stafford hurt his back and despite missing practices the next week, he suited up and played against the Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Sports Nation reports.

In that game, Stafford was playing with broken bones in his back, says Mike O’Hara of DetroitLions.com in his most recent edition of the Ken Brown and Mike O’Hara podcast.

This is just another example of how much of an ironman Matthew Stafford is, Detroit Sports Nation writes.
